Se connecterVioletI stood in the center of the dusty training arena, wiping sweat off my forehead with the back of my hand.My right shoulder was still sore from the gunshot wound, but the pain was starting to fade thanks to my fast wolf healing.Simon stood a few feet away from me, holding a pair of wooden training daggers in his hands."Again," Simon said, tossing one of the wooden daggers across the dirt toward my feet."I've already blocked your moves twenty times, Simon," I groaned, bending down to pick up the wooden blade."Dante isn't going to fight fair when he comes for you, Violet," Simon snapped back, his snow-white hair tied back in a messy knot. "Pick up the dagger and focus."I gritted my teeth, gripping the wooden handle tight as I took my stance.I rushed forward, swinging the wooden blade at his side in a fast, sloppy arc.Simon didn't even blink.He ducked under my swing with ease, spun around behind me, and swept my legs right out from under me.I hit the hard dirt floor with
DanteMy eyes snapped open, the harsh lights above blinding me instantly.The smell of bleach and sharp antiseptic hit my throat, making me cough violently as my head throbbed.I sat up fast, but my body felt like lead, heavy and drained of energy.I looked down at my left arm and saw a clear plastic tube taped to my skin, dripping liquid into my vein."What the hell is this junk doing in me?" I grumbled, grabbing the plastic needle with my right hand.I gripped the tape firmly, ready to rip the damn thing straight out of my skin."Woah, Dante! Don't pull that out!" Bret shouted, sprinting across the room toward my bed.He grabbed my wrist with both hands, shoving my arm back down onto the white mattress before I could yank the needle out."Get your hands off me, Bret," I growled, my voice rough and flat as I glared at him."You need that IV in you," Bret said, breathing heavy while releasing my wrist slowly. "Just sit back and relax for five seconds.""I don't want to fucking relax,"
VioletI woke up the next morning feeling like a giant train had run over my entire body.My right shoulder was throbbing under the fresh bandages, but the pain in my chest felt ten times worse.I stared up at the dark wooden ceiling, remembering every single cold word Dante had said in that video.Useless.An obedient dog.A quiet sob tried to bubble up in my throat, but I forced it right back down into my stomach.I was completely done crying over an Alpha who treated me like dirt and cheated on me behind my back.The bedroom door creaked open softly, making me turn my head toward the bright doorway.Simon stepped into the room holding a tray with a hot mug of tea and a small plate of soup.He didn't look like a scary killer today—he was wearing a simple gray sweater and dark jeans.What made me completely freeze on the bed was his hair.His short brown hair from before was gone, revealing thick, natural snow-white hair that matched my grandfather's exactly."You're awake," Simon sa
VioletI woke up with a sharp, throbbing ache radiating through my right shoulder. My eyes fluttered open slowly, blinking against the bright white light streaming into the room.I was lying on a soft bed inside a clean, spacious bedroom with dark wooden walls and high ceilings."Where am I?" I whispered out loud, my voice raspy and dry.I tried to sit up, but a jolt of pain shot down my arm, making me gasp and fall back against the pillows."Don't move too fast, child," a soft, raspy voice said from the side of the room.I turned my head quickly, my heart racing as I looked toward the window.An old man was sitting in a wooden armchair, wearing a heavy gray sweater and dark pants.What caught my attention immediately was his hair—it was completely, unnaturally snow white. Just like mine. Beside him stood a young woman holding a tray of clean bandages, and her hair was pure white too.In fact, two guards standing quietly near the bedroom door had the exact same stark white hair."Who
VioletThree full days sitting alone in this empty vacation house was torture.I paced around the silent living room, staring down at my phone screen for the hundredth time today.There were zero missed calls, zero text messages, and no sign of Dante."Is he seriously ignoring me on purpose?" I asked myself, throwing the quiet phone onto the soft couch cushion.I thought back to how he held me against his study desk, making all those grand speeches about missing me and begging for thirty days.Yet the second I moved out to this remote lake house to recover in peace, he went ghost on me."I can't just sit in this quiet forest doing nothing forever, Nala," I grumbled out loud, crossing my arms over my chest."He's probably just busy dealing with Gwen and the elders," Nala offered softly in my head. "You know how crazy things are back at the pack house right now.""I don't care how crazy things are," I muttered back, staring out the window at the tall trees. "He could have sent a simple
DanteI pulled the SUV into the pack house driveway, cutting the engine before the dust even settled.Bret hopped out of the passenger side and yanked the back door open, dragging Morgana out by her iron-cuffed wrists."Get her down to the sub-level cells," I told Bret as I stepped out into the night air. "Keep her separate from Doctor Evans so they can't coordinate a lie.""Got it," Bret said, hauling the trembling witch toward the side basement entrance. "She won't make a peep."I marched straight through the front doors of the pack house, my boots echoing heavily off the marble floor.Ted was standing near the main staircase waiting for me."Did you send out the notice?" I asked, stopping right in front of him."Yeah, Alpha," Ted nodded. "All five council elders are already assembling in the high chamber, along with Gwen and her father.""Good," I said, a dark wave of satisfaction washing over me. "Are my personal enforcers posted at every door?""Every exit is locked down tight,"
Volet’s POV“What the hell is wrong with you?”I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. I failed.My eyes stayed on Derek. I couldn't look away even though my chest burned. He was on the couch in the balcony with Cherry, his ex-girlfriend, sitting on his lap like she belonged there. His hand was un
Violet's POV. "Alpha Dante?" My voice came out too small for my own good. A squeaky high-pitched tone that I could do nothing to control. If that kept happening he would find out faster than I would like. He tilted his head, watching me with gold-flecked onyx eyes. Is he going to turn? Luc
DANTE'S POV I stepped out of the car, taking in the house in front of me while my men spent the small seconds doing a sweep. It had to be one of the blandest houses I had seen, white all through, probably because of all the shady stuff that happened behind those wooden doors. I never liked to
